no one here wants to harm the environment. what we want to make sure that we do is in a safe, thoughtful manner access the natural resources. lower utility bills from people around the nation, opportunities for a four year university when they come back from the university. 20 years ago we had 37 operating coal mines, but today we do not have 10. we see what is happening, where the unemployment rate is 4%. we know that we could bring down unemployment. we know that we can access resources in a safe manner. i want to make sure that every person in southern illinois who wants to work there, who wants to be in the coal mines, has the opportunity to be there and can provide for their families. [applause] >> paul bradshaw is next. >> of course i am against frakking. it takes vast amounts of clean, drinkable water, ponds it full of chemicals, and fractures underneath the ground and hit the rocks. you talk a lot about creating jobs with it, but it will not create jobs for people in southern illinois. they will move people who know ho

you could look at the international trade environment and wonder about that. this is the answer to your question, to me, and i think john and i would agree, a world in which the u.s. is still strong but all of these institutions are eroding is not a world i want to live in. the u.s. really does have an interest in trying its best to shore up these institutions. >> bob is coming my way. this is great. [laughter] just a couple quick points. my thesis is not that these institutions are independent. they are infused with power. they are instruments of power. they are used to signal limits on power. power is never divorced from institutions. in that regard, i argue the u.s. has been so brilliant on the world stage for half a century or longer because it has tied its power to these institutions that has both allowed it to make its power and more durable and expensive but also make it more limited and less based on the indiscriminate arbitrary use of power in the more literal sense. there is an argument about how it can allow for a powerful state to be more influenti

we believe we are making the environment safer for our people as a result. >> just a follow-up question. you say those operations are largely back to normal. which operations are not back to normal? and could you talk a little bit about the system in the last few weeks? >> yeah. well, when i said "largely back to normal," i meant that the majority of people were carrying on operations as they were before these assessments took place. there may have been minor adjustments, but largely, as i say, we're totally back to normal. in many areas, mentoring really did not cease. the risk assessments were carried out simultaneously with operations continuing, and there was no interruption in operational activities. in terms of how we are addressing the threats, we are introducing changes into the counterintelligence operations at the afghan national security forces. we are assisting them with some of this. they are just the numbers of people who are assisting with counterintelligence. the national director of security 1 between officers in the national army to assist in this effort. what we're do
